UBS Group AG recently cut Yes Bank’s price target on concerns over its relatively high exposure to lower-rated companies. Credit Suisse Group AG said in April that the bank was among lenders most-exposed to a few large companies with stressed debt.

Moody’s Investors Service this month warned of a potential downgrade on Yes Bank’s credit rating, citing its “sizeable exposure" to weaker companies in the shadow banking sector.

Moody’s said the review takes into account the ongoing liquidity pressures on Indian finance companies, which may negatively impact the credit profile of Yes Bank, given its sizeable exposure to weak companies in the sector.

In April, the bank had classified about ₹10,000 crore of its exposures, representing 4.1% of its total loans, under its stressed assets watch list. The rating agency says this could translate into non-performing loans over the next 12 months.

Yes Bank plans to raise $1.2 billion over 18 months to bolster its capital buffer through a mix of public and private share sales, Bloomberg reported citing chief executive officer Ravneet Gill.

At 10 am, Yes Bank shares were off from early lows and were trading flat at ₹103.
